Welcome

Welcome to the website for St. Andrew’s Church, North Burlingham. The first recorded rector of our beautiful church was Richard de Runhale in 1199. Although the greater part of the church dates from the early part of the sixteenth century we are proud of our roof angels and the rood screen, the latter dating back to 1536 barely a decade before the faces of the saints were defaced during the reformation.. The screen by the tower is from the ruined St. Peter’s Church which is nearby. St. Andrews is surrounded by woodland and fields which is a centre for ramblers and dog-walkers who are always very welcome. The churchyard is a haven for wild flowers and we are part of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust conservation scheme.

Our church provides an oasis of calm and peace which is often remarked upon by visitors.

Friends of North Burlingham Church

With help from the Diocese we are setting up a group of people from the local community who will ensure a future for this lovely church. We hope to organise the repair work identified in a recent quinquennial report, arrange occasional services in the church including a carol service and ensure that the church is cared for in the future.

If you would like to be involved in this project then please message us via the contact us page.
